	Games - Joke character

The joke character is a type of video game character that is sometimes seen in games with multiple playable characters, most particularly fighting games. Joke characters are easily identified for having abilities that are far below those of the other characters, and often behave in a comical manner. Because of this, a number of joke characters are also hidden characters. Some players deliberately choose these kinds of characters to prove their ability to win at a game. In informal multiplayer competition, the most skilled player present often uses a joke character in order to make the matches more competitive.

The best known joke character is Dan Hibiki, a character that originated in Street Fighter Alpha. Dan is a parody of Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia from SNK's Art of Fighting series.
